I think this subject was discussed on a forum before BUT has anybody discovered how to preserve a used steel -bodied Smoke Grenade when the chemicals have penetrated the steel and ruin the surface with a wet rust patch if left for a few years . You can rub or wipe the area but it will deteriorate till it destroys itself if left un-attended.
I refer to M18 USA smoke grenades and any other steel body grenades.Aluminium ones seem to be OK from damage.
I thought of a rust converter rotated inside for some time and then emptied out and dried. Maybe some layer of filler or paint inside??
Any help or ideas are appreciated as some of my nice items are deteriorating into wet rusted spots on the outside through the body. Ron.
